I’ve always felt like Parker got the shaft ever since the mid ’00’s as Spiderman. I was never a huge Spiderman fan but Peter Parker WAS Spiderman for my whole life. I’ve just kind of let it all go though. So many more “real” problems to actually get worked up about 😀
But it makes for good complaint fodder!
All heroes sort of go through that phase, huh 😂 Nowadays there’s maybe 20 different versions or spin-offs of Spider-Man and he goes through countless suits to fit with his mood/situation. Some are always better than others though hahah
What an oldie! Not the best one, I’d say – still before the deal with Mephisto, so ancient history in Spidey’s storyline – rather a side story, and your rating reflects this perfectly 😉 Still, it’s great to see some Marvel here, Lashaan! 😀
It indeed is. The whole event took place around the release of Spider-Man 3 too… which was one of the weakest movies, unfortunately.
Hahah I do try to sneak some in here and then (like Hawkeye last year) but I’ll probably never share as many reviews for them as I do for DC content! 😜
The different art styles are rather weird.
It’s interesting to hear that there is more to this volume than the actual story. It’s great if you’re a mega fan, but if you’re just there for the story…
Awesome review sir, I remember the whole ‘Back in Black’ arc that played out in the wake of Civil War. I actually picked up (and still have) the Amazing Spider-Man issues which were pretty good. I did also read the Friendly Neighborhood issues which we’re not any near as good but an entertaining enough read. Sounds like an interesting collection for fans of the title with some nice complementary materials.
Thanks, Chris. I’m not surprised that you know of this story arc and am quite glad that I am not the only one who has hahaha I do want to pick up more of his stories every time I read about him though. Is his ongoing series still as good as that issue you last reviewed?
I haven’t read Spider-Man since the most recent re-launch with Nick Spencer. Nothing against Nick Spencer but I hear it’s a bit more of a younger and more goofy approach.
I did follow the latter end of Dan Slott’s run and enjoyed that though. I’m aiming to finally getting around to reviewing Civil War this year so will probably be revisiting the Amazing Spider-Man arc as well.
Great review, Lashaan! 😄 It’s so weird to see Spiderman in black as I thought his red (and blue?) suit was kind of iconic 😯 I loved the intro and I wish I had an epiphanic moment where I’ll understand what I want to do with my life, it sounds pretty cool 😭
Wow I love these additional spin offs and stories! I think I’ve seen more of such works on your blog and I’m happy you kepp introducing us to more! Keep it up!

Definitely three different styles of art on display. Look s good to me.

Now that you mention that about suits/etc, I wonder if I am missing the stability more than the actual character

And there are others that aren’t shown and aren’t that good too.
Absolutely right. People just need to know that it’s a companion volume to the canonical story arc before they dive into this one.

Thank you so much, Caroline! ❤ He's been a black suit before (see Spider-Man 3 movie) and it's quite an interesting period in his life hahah
Pfffft I'm sure you've had that epiphanic moment and just didn't realize what it was. You'll know what you want to do with your life in time! 😀
